In general, everyone knows what rights and obligations of children and parents exist. But as soon as it comes to specific situations, it turns out that adult illiteracy in this area is limitless. In order not to find himself in a scrupulous atmosphere as a complete amateur, to be able to protect not only his child, but also himself, every citizen, especially the parent (it does not matter: completed or future) should know exactly and in detail what are the rights and obligations of children and parents, which are spelled out in many well-known government documents.
And we start with paragraph 2 of Article 38 of the Russian Constitution, which states that both the child and their parents are endowed with equal rights and equal responsibilities. Naturally, adults who decide to have a baby immediately after their birth become responsible for the future of their child. And this is expressed in a record in the books of the civil registry office (registry office) and the issuance of a birth certificate, where the names of the mother and father are written in two lines. And if there are usually no problems with mom, then establishing paternity often becomes a big headache. The men of our society, unfortunately, forget that they bear not only legal, but also moral responsibility for the person in whose life they take part from the very beginning. And so mothers have to go to court to resolve this issue.
The rights and obligations of children and parents are designed to protect the minor citizen as much as possible. It only seems at first glance that parents have more responsibilities than rights. In fact, taking care of the comprehensive development of their children, providing them with a healthy physical, psychological and moral lifestyle, mother and father lay the foundation for their calm old age. The interests of children cannot be separated from the interests of parents. Obligations of the older generation in relation to the younger, their conscientious performance - the key to the gradual smooth development of duties in law.
It is difficult to guarantee and demand loyal fulfillment of one’s moral duty on the part of a grown-up child, whose parents systematically violate the rights and obligations of children when they must protect him from being rude and humiliating, insulting and over-exploited. Family upbringing should be diverse. Not only too harsh treatment is bad, but also raising children in greenhouse conditions. Both those and other methods are fraught for the personality of the future citizen, who, knowing only the rights and obligations of children, will absolutely not recognize the same circumstances for his parents.
Parents need to remember that the child, immediately after birth, is recognized by law as a person who has rights not only to life, freedom and property. He becomes an equal member of the main unit of society - the family, that is, the individual. And this is the basis for allowing the child to have his own opinion on everything that happens to him and his family. Unfortunately, it is this postulate, correct from the point of view of the law, that causes the greatest friction in life when a teenager and his rights are the main defendants.
The rights and obligations of children and parents fully apply to minor fathers and mothers, who, unfortunately, are becoming more and more today. They have every right to live together, participate in education. But nevertheless age restrictions on the independent exercise of parental rights are also prescribed by law in order to protect the same children.
Questions about who a teenager is and his rights are covered in a number of international documents. The main among them is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Based on it, the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Family, Civil, Criminal Codes contain articles related to those legal aspects that are formed depending on the person’s age.
